ARMENIAN GENEALOGY - HOLOCAUST - IT IS POSSIBLE

ARMENIAN WEEKLY ; TURKISH DATABASE FOR ARMENIANS - HOLOCAUST

A year or so ago, it was reported that the Turkish government had a web site to help people researching their Armenian genealogy and family history, and possibly to locate lost or missing family.  Children who were orphaned were given Turkish names and converted to the Muslim religion. Go to this article and try to achieve the website yourself.

EXCERPT: The reason for the extraordinary interest in these family tree reports was the claim that they contained much more information than previously available - information dating back as the early 1800's in some cases.  In addition, this was the first time such information was so easily accessible online from anywhere in the world.  The Internet soon filed with stories of Turkish citizens learning of Armenian and other ancestry they had not know about previously.
